Dear YESSers. It's a pleasure to greet you.
We, Nina Kaiser and Giovanni Ávila-Flores, are pleased to write to you
today as the members of the new Executive Team 2020-2021. We hope to
continue the excellent work done by the previous members of the Executive
Team as well as develop new projects and ideas developed by our community.
I, Nina, am a doctoral candidate in my second year at the University
Duisburg-Essen and work on the effects of river restoration for ecosystem
services. With a background in Geosciences and Physical Geography, now
working in the field of aquatic ecology, I am familiar with the concept of
ecosystem services since many years. This year, I participated in the ESP
10 in Hannover and presented a part of my latest work on cultural ecosystem
services of river restorations, assessed by social media.
I, Giovanni, am a Ph.D. candidate in my fourth year at the Autonomous
University of Baja California Sur, Mexico (Marine and Coastal Sciences) and
I work in an integrated assessment of mangrove ecosystem, being a chapter
focused on ecosystem services. I have participated as a YESS delegate for
IPBES 6 at Medellin, Colombia, as an organizing member of YESS Delegation
at IPBES 7 at Paris, France, as a coauthor for an article made by several
YESS members and recently I participated in the ESP10 World Conference in
Hannover, Germany, presenting a study on cultural ecosystem services of
mangroves of Baja California Peninsula, Mexico.
We would like to acknowledge and thank the work of the YESSers who were
kind enough to take any roles in the network so far, be it in the executive
team, the outreach and communications team, organizing the journal club,
taking care of our web presence and our mailing lists, or welcoming new
members.
In the next months, we hope to strengthen the YESS network together with
you. Since the two of us cannot succeed alone, we invite all of you to
contact us if you are interested in contributing to this group.
If you have further ideas and wishes for YESS, feel free to contact the
two of us. Keep in mind that this organization is made by all of us, so
feel free to propose your own YESS projects! Also, if you haven’t done so
already, we invite you to join our Facebook group and follow us on Twitter.
Finally, we hope to be in contact with most of you and contribute to a
network all can benefit from.
Best regards and happy holidays!
Nina & Giovanni.
P.S. Finally we want to recognize the efforts of Klara, André, Samara,
Carla & Arjan to help us in this transition period.
